In 1982, the Health Policy Agenda for the American People was initiated by the American Medical Association to develop a long-term, comprehensive plan for addressing major health care issues in the United States. In phase 1 of the project, 41 issue areas were identified as critical to the future of health care in this country. In phase II, currently in progress, policy proposals are being developed to respond to these issue areas. The intention of this project is to provide a common basis for responding to health care issues as they arise today and in the years to come.
